Song Description

Some songs take a long time to write. This one took a long time to live. But it was worth it to come to this realization.

Lyrics

I'D FORGOTTEN
Words and Music by Harriet Schock

I guess you think you are the sun
And the world revolves around you
The fact that others don't concur
Continues to astound you
So when you made those plans for us
Without consulting me
And I did not act grateful as you thought I ought to be
Well you see, I'd forgotten you were God.

Talent is the brightest light
Eclipsing even wisdom
To say I lost my way is a glaring euphemism
You only had to wave your hand
And violins would play
And what a shame that truth came in
And brought that rainy day
I discovered I'd forgotten you were God.

And when I stopped admiring you
I thought it was your loss
But the one who's disillusioned
Always pays a higher cost

Then I read a book again
I'd read 2 times before
And it closed that wooden window
Opened up a metal door
It reminded me divinity lives inside the spark
That glows in us--each of us--even in the dark
And it showed me I'd forgotten you were God.
And even if we never speak
Again this time around
The lessons that I learned from you
Were simple yet profound...
I remembered I'd forgotten you were God.
